Before there were highrise condos on the beach there were . . . you guessed it.
Commission to Relieve Beach Bottleneck
Members of the City Commission meeting Jan. 3, undertook to devise ways and means to relieve the bottleneck on Atlantic Blvd. from A1A to the beach . . . and City Manager Burbridge was asked to give the matter immediate attention.
Mayor Haynie brought out the fact that relief is needed "now, today -- not tomorrow."
At the January meeting Burbridge reported that according to present plans the city would put in temporary pavement, creating three lanes of traffic, and institute parallel parking so that cars might get by when other lanes of traffic were blocked by the opening of the bridge. The paving will be done at once, it was said.
